It's worse. Single odds!

We just got off Odyssey and men were almost anything. Even on formal night, I saw one dude with t-shirt, gym shorts and flip flops. However, most guys wore polo shirts or dress shirts. I sort of wish they enforced long pants on guys on formal/dress-to-impress nights.

We just got off Odyssey and the minimum Craps bet was $10. My beef is that every time I ventured into the Casino, the Craps table was closed. They opened it when we were enjoying dinner or shows and after the shows, I was usually too tired to hit the casino. The one time, I did go in there and the Craps table was open, it was packed and I couldn't get a spot at the table.

Yes. At the time I made the bid, there were different balcony upgrade options: for a regular balcony and for an obstructed one. The non-obstructed minimum bids were higher than our budget (at the time). I know we're rolling the dice so that we can look out over the lifeboats at the ocean. Plus it will give me a place to enjoy my adult beverage while the wife is getting ready for dinner. FWIW, when we booked the cruise, the obstructed and non-obstructed balconies were very expensive.

Odyssey of the Seas from NJ in December (Pool Question)
baltodave replied to kteach's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
This does not answer your question directly but I can offer what happened on another ship: We sailed Radiance in Alaska this June 2023 and the only indoor pool was in the Solarium. They allowed kids in there 8-10am and 1-3PM (may have been 2-4pm). It was not a big deal (but Radiance is much smaller than Odyssey). Kids were never allowed in any hot tubs. -

RC looks to roll out a 3rd fixed dining slot
baltodave replied to smokeybandit's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I wrote this under the article but thought I'd repost here: It will be interesting to see how what changes are made to the entertainment schedule to accommodate the new (middle) dining option. Up to now, there are 2 shows in the theatre. The first show is to accommodate the late diners and the second show accommodates the early diners. On a different note, while we eat early at home, we prefer the late dining on cruises. This is because we don't want to be rushed back to the ship on port days and gives the wife plenty of time to get ready (while I'm enjoying my adult beverages). If we're really hungry, we get a slice or 2 of pizza at Sorentos to hold us over. -

I remember "back in the day" when there were $5 craps, they'd allow $6 for 5/9. BFD

We are flying in 2 days before our cruise and staying at the Wyndham.

(I posted this question in our FB group but thought I'd repeat it here) We will be in Aruba soon and will be taking a taxi to Eagle or Palm Beach. Which one would be better for renting chairs/umbrella and snorkeling off the beach (we have our own snorkeling equipment)? Thanks!
